The Hills Middle Eastern — Restaurant in Sydney

I was looking for a great place to have dinner, something quite different from what you can find everywhere, so when I read about "The Hills Middle Eastern", I thought this could be the one. When I checked their menu I quickly realized it was mostly Lebanese, which is recognized as one of the best food not only in the Middle East but in the world I had fattouch to start with (Freshly sIiced lettuce & capsicum with ripened tomatoes, cucumber, shallots, radish & crunchy fried Lebanese bread, in a pomegranate & garlic vinalgrette) And then "The HiIIs Mixed Plate", which is a plate of 3 skewers (grilled lamb, chicken & kafta), served with tabbouleh, falafel, hommus, baba ghanouj (which is finely chopped roasted eggplant, with olive oil, lemon juice, etc) & creamy garlic sauce (house made) As a drink as I noticed they had nice cocktails but I don't drink alcohol, I asked if they could make me a mocktail, and they did, a passion fruit virgin mojito then Everything was really tasty, really loved it It's possible to eat inside, but the terrace is even better in my opinion, great lights at night, and there was a big TV screen playing Lebanese concerts Staff was welcoming too You can go alone like I did indeed, but I would see it's a great place to go for a romantic dinner (like I saw some couples) or a nice time in family (like I saw a family celebrating a birthday) Highly...

@thehillsmiddleeastern is an absolute vibe and the perfect place for group events/birthdays/Xmas parties and other celebrations. The food is fresh, tasty and served banquet style because good food is meant to be shared.

I attended Last Thursday as part of a group event and was very pleased by the Food, Ambience and attentive Service.

In regard to the food, my thoughts are below:

1. Mixed Skewers (Lamb, Chicken and Kafta)

Wow these were so tender, moist and absolutely jam packed with flavour. Being a chicken fan, these were my favourite and I’m sure I hit my protein target because I demolished these

2. Falafel, Fried Kibbeh, Cheese Sambousek, Meat Sambousek, Stuffed Vine Leaves, Fried Cauliflower

An absolute stunner mixed plate of goodies and I made sure to try everything. Especially love both Sambousek Varieties and the vine leaves

3. Fattouch Salad, Hummus, Labneh, Garlic Dip

That Fattouch Salad was the perfect blend of garlic, herby, crunchy and fruity goodness. Treat yo self to this one because it’s good for you but really yum. The dips are great too and the perfect accompaniment to the Mezza. I'm from the west so I would’ve liked tiny bit more garlic to come through but everyone has different palettes so I think the Hills have...

The Hills Middle Eastern is a stunning venue located in Hunters Hill serving up the juiciest and freshest Lebanese food I’ve had!

We started with a fattoush salad and a selection of dips and breads. My favourite was the soft Lebanese bread dipped in baba ganoush.

Next came the mezze platter and tabouleh. I am obsessed with the meat and cheese sambousek the filling was so full of flavour and the pastry was so fresh and delicious. The fried kibbeh was also out of this world!

Last we finished with a meat platter that had chicken, lamb and Kofta served with creamy garlic dip. The meat was incredibly juicy and perfectly complimented by the garlic dip.

Nawar and his staff were incredible hosts and I loved the space, especially the alfresco area draped in festoon lighting, great for an event!

I’m looking forward to visiting again!
